Sure, if you just run a bead of 5200 over the mating surface that should seal the holes fine. Clean things up first of course. That fender isn’t coming off after that, not without taking the Fiberglas with it anyway... |
I get that from your post earlier about the binding strength of the compound however, as I stated, the old holes don't match up with the new fender as also seen in the photos I sent (and one that I couldn't seem to get posted). My question was more pointed toward if I could just use that as a hole filler without the fender mating to it. I've decided that my fender will be held with screws and the double stick tape to hold it in place while I put the screws in, just like at the factory. Will I be more diligent about making sure my tires are good? Of course, but if the worst should happen again, I really don't want to replace a large hunk of my camper wall. This particular blow out trip only has ended up costing me about $300 in tires and replacement hardware and fenders and such. I would have had to dip into my comprehensive deductible had there been more damage to the sides of the camper than there were.
